wiederkehren
to return
- Past (Präteritum)
- kehrte wieder
- Past participle
- wiedergekehrt (sein)
A separable verb indicating that something or someone comes back or reoccurs. Because it signifies a change of state or motion, it takes 'sein' as the auxiliary verb in perfect tenses, unlike the non-separable 'widerkehren' (which is rare). It is often used for abstract concepts like opportunities, feelings, or seasons that return to a previous state or location after a period of absence.
